FAQs about hotels in Kota Kinabalu
Tropical Paradise in East Malaysia
Kota Kinabalu (KK) is the capital of the East Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. It features white-sand beaches, tropical rainforests and the outer lying coral reefs and islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) Marine Park, a haven for scuba divers.
Occupied by the Japanese and heavily bombed during World War II by the British, some remnants of this colonial era remain in the Atkinson Clock Tower and Signal Hill Observatory, with its sweeping view of the coast.
Tanjung Arn is KK’s most popular public beach and secluded northern beaches like Karambunai and Dalit have resorts dotted along the coast.
Kota Kinabalu Harbour hosts international cruise ships and the KK Waterfront is a popular place with many bars. The KK Handicraft Market is your chance to grab a nice souvenir to take home.
Mount Kinabalu is Malaysia’s highest mountain at 4,101 metres. This highly important ecological region contains rare fauna and flora and makes a good day trip from the capital.
A variety of hotels on Booking.com are centred around Kota Kinabalu International Airport, the city centre and islands.

Tanjung Aru sunset very nice, kota Kinabalu kundasang must go to see kota Kinabalu mountain view. Mari-Mari culture village is a must, a very good experience. Tunku Abdul Rahman park really beautiful. Beach in University Malaysia SabahGuest review byKikiMalaysia - 8.0

Kota Kinabalu is the most cosmopolitan of the cities in Sarawak and Sabah. Shopping is good, plenty of eateries and the inner city is walkable . The traffic like in all Malaysian cities is horrific. I want to point out that taxies in Malaysia don't have meters any more and charge for transport whatever the want (always to much) compared to Grab/Uber.Guest review byGerardNew Zealand - 10.0
I love Kota Kinabalu.
I love Kota Kinabalu. There are a lot of nice restaurants, and there are some beautiful islands you can get to. I also love the local restaurants and the dessert places like the Royal Coconut. I would definitely go back again.Guest review byBasilUnited States - 10.0

Great scenery, great food, just need to be careful with the safety, sometimes you can see some homeless people in the street, and too many promoters, the local authority might need to enforce on the road safety and supervision on the overall hygine.Guest review byYi PingMalaysia - 10.0

There are many interesting places to visit for example the Medical Science Musuem, Aquarium and Art Gallery located in University Sabah Campus. The Filipino market nice souvenir items but you will need to bargain. For seafood lovers, this is a fantastic place to satisfy your cravings. Island hopping is also great. Good idea to bring along your own pre-packed food and drinks unless you do not need to budget expenses. Just people watching whilst enjoying a cool drink is also an eye opener. There are many differences with what prevails in West M'sia. I also loved the fact that the airport was just about 20 minutes drive away from the hotel - so convenient and time (cost) savingGuest review byLaili RusmahMalaysia - 8.0
Seafood here is fresh and delicious.
Seafood here is fresh and delicious. Ferry to island hopping was chaotic and long queue. Can improve. When at the jetty waiting for boats, had no system and just hoping hard that the pic will find youGuest review byLee KengMalaysia

- From £53.39 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 564 reviewsRoom was nice and comfortable, with everything you might need. The hotel is situated outside the congested old town, along the highway, reasonably near the airport, which made it ideal for a night's stay after our arrival in Kota Kinabalu, just before our hike up Mount Kinabalu the next day. My travel companion arrived earlier than me, and they were able to change the booking name so that they could check in without my presence.Guest review byBernardSingapore
- From £105.12 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 453 reviewsGreat hotel with lovely helpful staff. Near to local food and markets and easy to catch grab taxis everywhere you wanted to go - not far from the airport either. Room was a good size and had a kitchen with cooker, fridge, kettle and all the cutlery and crockery you would need and this was useful to have a quick breakfast before a packed day of sight-seeing - lots of local shops to buy supplies.Guest review bymumtazUnited Kingdom
